One of my favorite idol group's members saw the Jomon Sugi and said it became a turning point for them, and I've always wanted to visit this place. After getting permission from my family and taking time off work, I set out on a solo trip. I chose this place because it mentioned that solo participants were welcome. The shuttle service to the accommodation was truly appreciated. I had quite a bit of confidence in my physical strength since I exercise regularly, but the round trip of about 10 hours was really tough. However, the guide and other participants were kind enough to talk to me, which made me very happy. I felt a sense of camaraderie that motivated me to keep going. The guide even gave us miso soup for lunch, and I was really touched by their kindness. The moment I saw the Jomon Sugi at the summit was truly a happy time. It was the best trip, blessed with good weather. I'm sore all over, but I really feel like this could be a turning point for me.
推しのアイドルグループの1人が縄文杉を見て「変わるきっかけになった」と言っていて以前からずっと行きたいと考えていた場所でした。家族に許可をもらい仕事も休みを貰えたので1人旅に出ました。1人参加歓迎と書いてあったのでここにしました。宿までの送迎は本当にありがたかったです。日頃から運動をしていたので体力にはけっこう自信があったのですが、往復約10時間はとてもきつかったです。ですが1人参加の私にガイドさんや他の参加者さんが心優しく話かけてくれてとても嬉しかったです。仲間意識が芽生えて頑張れます。ガイドさんがお昼にはお味噌汁をくれて本当に人の優しさに感激しました。頂上で縄文杉を見た瞬間は本当に幸せな時間でした。天候にも恵まれた最高の旅でした。全身筋肉痛ですが、本当に何か変わるきっかけになりそうな気がします。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking. It was my first time hiking, but the guide provided detailed advice and explanations, showed us photogenic spots, and took photos for us, making the experience very enjoyable and smooth as we reached Jomon Sugi. Thank you! This experience has awakened my interest in hiking! I had the impression that it would be rainy and much colder, but the weather was clear throughout, with temperatures around 25 degrees, making it comfortable. We were blessed with great weather. Yakushima is amazing!

Thanks to the local veteran guide, I was able to participate with peace of mind and have fun. After the trolley path, the mountain trail was tougher than I imagined, but seeing Jomon Sugi was incredibly moving and gave me a great sense of achievement! It was clear weather in early July, and I hardly noticed any bugs, plus there were no bears, so the nature was truly beautiful and a wonderful space that made me want to lie down anywhere! There were so many highlights, so it was definitely the right choice to hire a guide. It's a lifelong memory!
地元のベテランガイドさんのお陰で安心して楽しく参加できました。トロッコ道の後は想像よりもキツイ登山道でしたが、縄文杉を見たら感動で達成感がすごいです!7月上旬の晴天でしたが虫もほとんど気にならず熊もいないので、どこでも寝そべりたくなるような自然が本当に美しい素敵な空間でした!見所がたくさんあるのでガイドをお願いして大正解でした。一生の思い出です!

I signed up for the "Jomon Sugi Tracking Tour" yesterday, but I received a cancellation notice from the tour company in the evening due to bad weather. However, they also suggested an alternative tour, the "Shiratani Unsuikyo," and I switched to that. The guide and the other participants were friendly, making it a very enjoyable tour. I was informed that there would be a reduction in fees, so please process that as soon as possible.
昨日の「縄文杉トラッキングツアー」に申込みましたが前日の夕方頃ツアー会社から天気不順により中止の連絡がありました。が、同時に別ツアー「白谷雲水峡」の提案をいただき、そちらに変更しました。ガイドさん同行した方とも気さくで大変楽しいツアーになりました。減額されるとのことなので早目よ手続きをお願いします。

Upon arriving at Yakushima, they helped me adjust the shoe size during the rental item handover at the airport, and even though my hotel was different, they assisted with luggage storage and transportation to another hotel, which was very helpful.
However, the guide was quite unresponsive, and the rental raincoat did not protect against the rain at all, leaving my T-shirt completely soaked. It was at a level where I couldn't understand why I even rented it.
屋久島到着日の空港でレンタル品の受け渡しで靴のサイズを合わせてくれたり、送り迎えでホテルが違うにも関わらず、荷物の預かりと別ホテルへの送迎もしていただけてとても助かった。
ただ、ガイドさんは塩対応だし、レンタルのレインコートは全く雨を凌げず中のTシャツまでべったべた。
さすがに何のためにレンタルしたのか分からないレベルでした。

It was my first time seeing Jomon Sugi. I had heard that the round trip distance was 22 kilometers horizontally and 750 meters vertically, which sounded quite challenging, so I trained to build my stamina. If you have the stamina to comfortably run about 10 kilometers in an hour, you should have no problem climbing. There were five people in my party besides the guide and myself, but unfortunately, one person had to retire midway due to a cramp (possibly a muscle strain?), so I recommend preparing yourself physically to some extent.
I brought my own clothes and towels, but I rented a backpack, hiking boots, and a raincoat from the tour, which was sufficient. If you prepare everything yourself, light gear should probably be fine, but the ground is very slippery, so hiking boots are a must. I also requested a lunch box from the tour, and while I think it was just ordinary in taste, the scenery made it taste better. I prepared for cold and insect protection, but those might not have been necessary. I climbed at the end of June, and the raincoat was sufficient for warmth; there were hardly any bugs, and there were no leeches (I was quite worried about that...).
Considering the time of year, it was miraculous to have good weather, and it was truly an emotional experience. (The guide and the party were great too!) Seeing it with my own eyes and feeling the impact of the experience is irreplaceable compared to images online. I highly recommend it!
初の縄文杉でした。水平距離往復22キロ、垂直距離750メートル、結構過酷な行程と聞いていたので、走り込みで体力つけて備えました。1時間で10キロ程度を楽に走れる程度の体力なら問題なく登れます。同行のパーティーはガイドさんと自分を除いて5人居ましたが、そのうち1人は残念ながら足が攣って(肉離れかも?)途中リタイアだったので、折角ならある程度体力つけて備える事をオススメします。
装備は服とかタオルだけ自分で持っていき、レンタルでリュックと登山靴とレインコートをツアーで借りましたが十分でした。全て自前で用意する場合も軽装で多分大丈夫ですが、足元は非常に滑るので、登山靴はマストです。お弁当もツアーでお願いしましたが、本当は普通の味だと思うのですが景色の分美味しく感じました。他にも防寒や防虫等備えましたが、要らなかったかも。6月末に登りましたが、防寒はレインコートで十分、虫もほとんど居らず、ヒルは出てきませんでした。(大分、心配してたんだけど。。。)
天気に恵まれたのは時期を考えると奇跡的でしたが、本当に感動的な体験でした。(ガイドさんもパーティーも良かった!)ネットの画像ではなく、自分の目で見て、迫力を感じる経験は他に代えがたいと感じました。是非オススメします!

The weather was favorable, and Yakusugi Land was easy to walk through without needing poles. I was glad to encounter various types of moss. The droplets resting on the moss sparkled beautifully. I reflected on the passage of time as I observed the second generation growing based on the first. I was also pleased to see the Jomon cedar.
天気にも恵まれて屋久杉ランドはポールもいらず、歩きやすかったです。いろんな種類の苔にも巡り逢えて良かったです。苔に溜まった雫がキラキラしてました。1代目を元に2代目が成長して行く有様に悠々と流れる時の長さに想いを馳せました。

At the end of June, I went trekking in the middle of the rainy season. Due to rain and thunder, we had to stop because it was deemed unsafe. Other trekking groups continued, so I felt that who the guide was would be quite important.
I also heard that there have been recent fatal accidents, which has made everyone more cautious. If you really want to go trekking, it's better to set aside an extra couple of days as a backup.
I was really disappointed because I went there with this purpose in mind. If they had informed us in advance that there was a possibility of postponing to the next day, I could have adjusted my itinerary accordingly.
It may be a cynical view, but I couldn't help but feel that the guide might not want to go out in bad weather.
6月末、梅雨の最中のトレッキングでした。途中雨と雷のため継続不能との判断で中止に。他のトレッキンググループは決行していたので、誰がガイドになるかがかなり重要だと思いました。
また最近死亡事故があって慎重になってるらしいです。絶対トレッキングしたいなら2日程度予備日を設けた方がいいです。
これを目的に行ったのに本当に残念です。事前に翌日に延期になる可能性を伝えてくれてたらそれ用に旅程を組んだのに。
うがった見方ですが、ガイドさんが悪天候の中行きたくないのかなってこちらは感じる程でした。

A few years ago, I had been planning to challenge myself with trekking to "Jomon Sugi" in Yakushima. Since I was traveling alone, I requested a guide. At first, I was filled with anxiety about whether I could complete the approximately 10-hour journey, but miraculously, the weather was good, and as I walked, I became excited and enjoyed myself. The guide was truly wonderful. Thanks to the guide, I was able to walk with peace of mind, and they provided timely guidance while maintaining a good balance of pace and rest. Along the way, the guide shared stories that added value to my life, allowing me to enjoy the trekking for 10 hours without getting bored. On the way back, my feet started to hurt quite a bit, but every time I overcame a challenge, the guide genuinely celebrated with me, which was so moving it almost brought me to tears. Yakushima is an incredible place. It offers emotions and joys (and challenges) that you can never experience in everyday life. Although it's said that you should visit Yakushima at least once in your lifetime, it's a place I want to visit again and again. I became more curious about Yakushima. I can't mention names, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank the guide who took such good care of me. Additionally, I appreciated the consideration of receiving phone calls to confirm my belongings a few days and the day before the trek. It made me feel at ease. I think it's a very good tour company. I look forward to working with you again when I visit Yakushima.
数年前から屋久島『縄文杉』のトレッキングに挑戦したいと思い、計画を立てていました。一人旅だったのでガイドさんをお願いしました。最初は約10時間の道のりを完歩出来るのか不安でいっぱいでしたが、奇跡的に天候も良く歩いているうちにワクワク楽しくなりました。なんと言ってもガイドさんが素晴らしい。ガイドさんのお陰で安心して歩めたのと適度な加速と休息をとりながらタイミングよくガイドしてくださいました。道中にもこれからの人生にプラスになるお話しもしてくださったりと10時間退屈せずにトレッキングを楽しむことが出来ました。帰り道は、流石に足の痛みが強くなりましたが、ガイドさんが一つ一つクリアする度に本当に一緒に喜んでくれて涙が出そうになるくらい感動しました。屋久島はとても素晴らしい場所です。日常では絶対に味わえない感動と喜び(辛さも)があります。一生に一度は訪れたいと言われる屋久島ですが、何度でも訪れたい場所です。屋久島のことをもっと知りたくなりました。お名前は出せませんが、本当にお世話になったガイドさんにこの場を借りてお礼を申し上げます。
あと、3日前や前日にもしっかりと持ち物の確認などの電話をくださるなどご配慮も有難いです。安心できました。
とても良いツアー会社だと思います。また、屋久島に行った際はどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

At 3:50 AM, we were picked up by Takezuki Ryokan, went around in order, picked up our bento along the way, and arrived at the trailhead. Before departure, we had a meal and ate about half of our onigiri, then started with our impromptu team.
Our team's guide helped us acclimate by taking it slow on the trolley path. At each point, he provided explanations about the history, the formation of Yakushima, and its endemic species, along with occasional conversations. We also took some great photos, and everyone was satisfied. Although I participated alone, I was well taken care of by the younger and senior members, as well as newlyweds.
After finishing the 8 kilometers on the trolley, the 2 kilometers of ascent were breathless, but when we met Wilson and Jomon Sugi, everyone in the team had wonderful expressions. I heard that there used to be a route very close to Jomon Sugi, but now, for the sake of Jomon Sugi and the visitors, they’ve created a space to look up from a little distance and made it possible to view it from the side. They are also maintaining the area daily, including fallen Yakusugi due to old age. It might change again by the time I come back.
In the end, the tour was enjoyable, and I gained a lot of energy. Thank you very much.

I had always wanted to go to Yakushima but kept putting it off. I suddenly realized that nothing would change if I continued like this, so I did some research and signed up for this tour.
As a result, I had to retire partway through. I still had confidence in my stamina, but my leg muscles couldn't keep up, so I gave up on Jomon Sugi, considering the return trip.
However, the guide who accompanied me down the mountain answered all my questions and shared various details about Yakushima. They also paid close attention to my walking pace, and I actually felt that it was a good thing I had to retire! The return trip wasn't too tiring, and it became an unforgettable experience.

To my surprise, it was a clear day, and Jomon Sugi was amazing. I was worried about causing trouble for others due to my age and physical condition, but somehow I made it back. If I had gone alone, I probably wouldn't have made it.
The 8.5 km trek along the trolley path was tough. There were times when I felt like giving up. As someone with a fear of heights, crossing the bridge without a handrail was difficult; I was almost in tears, no, I crossed while crying.
Thanks to the guide's pacing, I managed to get through. There were several water sources along the way, so I didn't have to worry about drinking water. In fact, I should have reduced my water intake.
It was the best experience!

I visited Yakushima for the first time in late May and pre-booked this tour. Since it was my first time, I was worried about the cold, so I packed various jackets in my backpack, but they weren't necessary! There was one guide for six members, and half of the group had trekking poles, which I thought were necessary since we were climbing steep areas! It was quite challenging, but climbing while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh air felt wonderful. The Jomon Sugi was breathtaking, and I truly felt it deserved its status as a World Heritage site!

From the day before yesterday, they provided detailed information about what to bring and asked if I had any questions, which made me feel at ease for my participation.
Instead of guiding from the entrance, they started guiding us from the moment they picked us up, sharing information about Yakushima while we were in the car. They took a lot of photos and skillfully captured panoramic shots according to the situation, and their engaging storytelling made for an enjoyable time. We even got to enter the river, creating wonderful memories.
前々日から、持ち物なども教えてくださり、わからないことがないか、など細かく聞いてくださり、安心して参加に臨むことができました
入口からのガイドではなくて、送迎に来てくださったときから、車の中からガイドをしてくださって、屋久島のことから教えてくださりました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださるし、パノラマ撮影など状況に応じて上手に撮ってくださるし、説明も引き込まれる話術で楽しいひと時を送ることができました。川に入ったりして、いい思い出になりました。

I think opinions about the tour company and the guide can vary. Compared to another tour that contacted us the day before and the day before that, providing detailed information about what to bring, the meeting place, and the time, we did not receive any communication regarding the Jomon Sugi trekking until the day before. Since we were scheduled to participate in the Shiratani trekking that afternoon, there was a possibility that we wouldn't have reception, so we had to reach out ourselves.
On the day of the tour, after getting off the shuttle bus, while other guides were calling out names to gather participants, our guide did not call out names, leaving participants to search for the guide. While it’s good to be cautious for safety during the trek, the way it was communicated was harsh and rude. At the very least, we are customers, and although we did not argue at the time and complied, we were criticized despite not being slow or unprepared.
I still feel upset about it. If they want to project professionalism, they might consider developing a more engaging way of communicating.
ツアー会社、ガイドによって賛否が分かれると思います。
前日、前々日から連絡をくださって、持ち物、待ち合わせ場所、時間など、丁寧に教えてくださった別のツアーに比べて、翌日の縄文杉のトレッキングでは前日になっても連絡がこなくて、その午後から白谷のトレッキングに参加予定だったので、電波が届かない可能性もあったもので、こちらから連絡をしたくらいです。当日も、シャトルバスを降りて、ほかのガイドさんは名前を呼んで参加者を集めている中、私たちのガイドさんは名前も呼ばず、参加者がガイドさんを探す始末。
安全のために道中で注意をされるのはよいのですが、言い方がきついし、口が悪い。少なくとも私たちは客ですし、その場で反論はせずに、従っていましたが、もたもたしていたわけでもないのに、文句ばかり言われた。
今も気分が悪い。プロ感を出すなら、もう少し、楽しませるような話術も身に着けてもよいのでは。

I don't usually exercise, so I was a bit anxious, but I went to see Jomon Sugi.
About an hour into the hike, my shoulders started to hurt, but after the guide helped me with the fitting of my backpack, the pain surprisingly went away, and it felt lighter, allowing me to walk comfortably.
Trekking while listening to various stories was really enjoyable.
普段運動をしてないので、少し不安でしたが、縄文杉に会ってきました。
歩き始めて1時間くらいで肩が痛くなったのですが、ガイドさんにザックのフィッティングをしていただいたら、驚くほど痛さもなくなり、また軽く感じられて、楽に歩くことができました。
色んな話を聞きながらのトレッキングは、ホントに楽しかったです。

Dear Nancy,
Thank you for participating in the trekking tour.
We have been instructing our guides to be mindful of their tone, but this year, there have been many incidents of falls and slips. Some guides encourage gently, while others may speak a bit more firmly to ensure safety.
I completely understand that you would prefer a gentle approach, and I will remind our guides to be careful with their language.
Additionally, the pre-tour confirmation process varies by guide company.
Our company has a system where customers contact us upon arriving in Yakushima. The reason is that while we are aware of your arrival time, many customers are busy with baggage claim and rental car arrangements right after arrival, so they tend to call us once they have settled down. This contact information is also noted on the application page and voucher.
That is all.
Nancy 様
この度は、トレッキングツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございます。
ガイドの口調については再三気を付けるよう指導しておりますが、今年に入り、転倒・滑落事故が多発しており優しく促すガイドもいれば
怪我をさせないよう多少きつく言うガイドもいます。
お客様にとっては優しく言ってもらいたい気持ちは十分分かりますので、再度言葉使いには気を付けるよう注意致します。
あと、ガイド会社によって事前確認は違います。
弊社はお客様が屋久島に到着したら弊社に連絡を取るシステムを取っています。
理由は、お客様の到着時間は弊社でも把握していますが、到着直後に手荷物受取やレンタカー受付で忙しいお客様も多く落ち着いてから電話頂いております。
お客様から弊社へ連絡する事は申込ページやバウチャーにも記載しております。
以上です。
